Pros

good work-life balance, engaging projects, and strong pension and benefit - but only for staff positions, and even then, job security is limited unless the role is continuing position.

Cons

inefficient workflows, unstable contracts, an oversized workforce where many contribute little but still receive full pay, and a culture where some act self important, intoxicated by their association with the name of UN.
